But before heading out on our trip, we decided to come here first to do some team building so that we could get to know each other. Midwest Food Bank is a faith-based organization. Their mission is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition locally and throughout the world and provide disaster relief. It is a great place for groups, families and individuals to come and volunteer at. Sign up is easy and they have daily shifts available to help pack and organize food boxes in their warehouse. They make it simple to find a shift that works best for your schedule. When you arrive and check in, Midwest Food Bank shows a video about the organization and explains how food will be packaged. Volunteers are then assigned to different stations. Because you are working with food, hand washing is required and so is wearing a hair net (they provide them). The staff here at Midwest Food Bank is great and they making volunteering fun. It is a great place to bring your kids too! Midwest Food Bank currently distributes nearly $40 million worth of food to over 2,200 non-profit organizations each month.

Our task was to sort foods into various categories in order for the Food Bank to be able to fill order requests for various distribution sites (such as other food banks, domestic violence centers, homeless shelters, etc.). Our shift was from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. and everything was started on time with an intro into the purpose of the bank and the purpose of United Way overall. We broke out into "teams" and were assigned tasks from there and everything got underway. By 11 a.m. we had wrapped up all of the food needing to be sorted / boxed and we were able to leave early. Notes: wear weather appropriate clothes (it's not climate controlled) and wear closed toes shoes for safety Overall: A It's a charity and it's a chance to volunteer and give back - what's not to love??

Since one person is checked in at a time, allow time when you arrive for you to be called to check in. Some things are in a box many items you get to select what you will enjoy and take that.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve the community while also representing an organization dedicated to service. I also want to give a special shout-out to the St. Mary's Food Bank staff for their exceptional organization and warm welcome. Joseph, in particular, was fantastic. He made the experience lighthearted while still keeping us in line (pun not intended) and he even took song requests from Prince Fans (Purple Rain). Thank you to the entire St. Mary's team for all you do, and for providing opportunities that not only support the community, but also help other teams grow stronger together. Sincerely, a visiting Minnesotan.

Thank goodness his father still lives at that address! As of a week ago, we found out that someone must have gotten ahold of his new card # or bank account # as there was a charge on his account from California that wasn't from us and his bank told him HE MAY get reimbursed if investigations prove they weren't from him and a new card would come in 5 business days. So here we are again without money for a week and they didn't even offer to expedite it since they totally fucked up last time. It's now been over 5 business days and when my boyfriend called he was told he may just need to order YET AGAIN another card. My boyfriend told him he can't be doing this as he can't get gas, food, etc. and THE GUY HUNG UP ON HIM! Poor customer service, poor employees, and terrible bank in general. We'll be switching banks now because you guys don't know how to take care of your customers!
